McCain Pledges to Bring Up Ayers in Debate

[craz3z]

Does anyone else get the feeling that Obama has lured McStupid into a trap?

It appears Sen. John McCain will take Sen. Barack Obama up on his challenge.

In an interview on a St. Louis radio station, McCain said Obama's comments that "I didn't have the guts" to talk about William Ayers in the last presidential debate have "probably ensured" that the former 1960s radical will come up in Wednesday's debate.

1. We know Obama is ready...

Just wonder how hard he's going to hit the old man.

[yardwork]

5. Obama doesn't have to hit hard. McCain has overplayed the Ayers thing.

McCain has convinced his followers that Obama is Ayers's best friend and they went bomb throwing together all through the 1960s. Since the truth is totally on our side, all Obama has to do is gently state the truth and that alone will make it look like McCain is backing down. His supporters will be terribly disappointed.

McCain has painted himself into a corner on this and everything else.

[progressiveforever]

16. Obama was ready for it last week--

He will own it, I'm sure.

[YDogg]

2. "probably ensured." Now, that's a forceful promise. LOL.

[Thrill]

3. This is what Obama wants. A chance to debunk it with the largest auidence possible

[Johonny]

25. not just debunk

but discredit McCain and make him look stupid in the process.

[Bicoastal]

4. At this point, I just wonder what Obama's smackdown will be:

I think he'll talk about the Annenberg project and every good Republican connected to it--including McCain's own campaign.

[prolesunited]

6. Good. Obama will be ready

and McCain will look like a fool. Also, if McCain doesn't, he'll look like a coward.

[WinkyDink]

7. McCain is an idiot. Obama can point out that the entire U. of Ill. must be "palling around with

terrorists", then!

[Jennicut]

8. McLame is an idiot. Its gonna backfire on him again.

Obama seems more presidential and "less risky" per a poll on CNN the other day. Who is advising his campaign anyways and why is he listening to them? Oh well, thats good for us.

[CoffeeCat]

9. Obama should say that he fears McCain...

...will recklessly run over his foot with his Rascal, during the debate.

"He has the 9-volt, and that could easily take off a few toes!"

[Blaze Diem]

24. LOL...very funny mental image..haaaaaaa

stupid McCrazyRascalDriver..hehe

[occe]

10. I hope he does

Because Obama will be able to fight back and it will backfire.............again

[KsStorm]

12. Hee hee

Oh this will be a good one!! How many debates are left?

[progressivebydesign]

11. I hope he does.. ONLY if this debate TRULY is a debate this time, and Obama can answer him.

That's been the problem with these fake debates... they are not debates. Unless the candidates can freely have a back and forth... it's nothing more than dueling soundbites. I HOPE that McCranky brings this shit up because Obama can set him and America straight on this bullshit.

Anyone know if this will be a decent debate format this time? Or more uncontested soundbites?

[BumRushDaShow]

33. Schieffer claimed last weekend that he wanted to include some free-for-all. n/t

[RoadRage]

13. He didn't learn from KEATING...

That's exactly how Keating got McCain to go to that meeting on his behalf.. he baited him. He said that he was to "chicken".. and that's exactly what set McCain off in the first place..

Obama's just done the same thing. He's implied that McCain is to chicken.. and McCain is just jumping at the bit. He doesn't learn.. and it's a sad day when a possible POTUS is easily baited with reverse psychology.. that most 8 year olds can circumvent. :eyes:

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Is McCain related to Marty McFly (from Back To The Future)?

"Nobody calls me chicken!!"

:popcorn:

[Fire_brand]

19. ha ha

[AllentownJake]

29. Marty McFly?

[RoadRage]

32. Back to the future movies... Michael J. Fox's "arch nemesis" in the show. NT

[otohara]

14. I Can't Wait

go ahead friend of Liddy, Bush, Cheney, Keating 5

All those people did a lot more damage than Ayers ever could.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Oh boy

Here we go.........

:popcorn:

[JohnMcCant2008]

18. Looking forward to the debate as though it was the Superbowl, wrapped up in a World Series game and

sprinkled with a Rolling Stones concert.

just sayin'.

[demokatgurrl]

27. Alas, I will have to watch my baseball team

punch their ticket to the World Series. So I'll be stopping in here for updates.

[AllentownJake]

30. Go PHILLIES!

[Vinca]

20. I hope he does. It opens a very wide door for Obama to connect

McBush with Keating and a host of others, while making a joke out of being 8 years old when Ayers was involved in the anti-war movement.

[nc4bo]

21. Bring it on McConman. Bring it on!

And, Obama will still manage to get across his Plan for America in flying form!

[Marsala]

22. Talk about walking into a trap

Does McCain want to lose? Never ever EVER do what your opponent dares you to do!

This is pure desperation on McCain's part. He and his advisers must think that bringing up Ayers on the national stage might give it more traction.

[FVZA_Colonel]

23. As if no one, least of all Obama, saw this coming,

[ellacott]

26. The right wing sites are trying to link Obama to Ayers during Obama's college years

They are even saying that Ayers wrote Dreams of my Father. They are also trying to make a connection to a Muslim man who helped him get in Harvard.

I think McCain would try to attack in a way that brings up these latest conspiracy theories.

In Stephanie Miller's show she reported that some in the press saw Hannity on McCain's plane yesterday. He was in the private area of the plane.

It sounds like McCain has gotten desperate enough to rely on talking points from Hannity.

[Montauk6]

28. Isn't this the same geezer who chided Obama for SHOWING HIS HAND????

SOMEBODY LYIN!

[blue_onyx]

31. Good, Obama can handle anything McCain throws at him

I wonder if the moderator will bring it up? If the moderate doesn't ask a question about Ayers, I wonder how McCain will bring up the topic? If could be a little funny to see him struggling to work Ayers into the conversation.

[bushisanidiot]

34. Yeah, baby! Bring it the fuck ON!!!!!

McPanic is gonna have egg all over his face after the debate. Once again, he will try another act of desperation and he will be made a fool.. as usual.

I hope he gets visibly angry. Obama's numbers will skyrocket!!

[damonm]

35. Can we say "G. Gordon Liddy, convicted felon"?

Watergate Burglar?
Unrepentant?
